This season, Heritage will also feature another outdoor installation: a full-scale reproduction of a wetu, a traditional dwelling used by the Wampanoag tribe through the late
1600s. The wetu was made by members of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe, following
centuries-old construction methods. Visitors will be invited to explore the wetu and to

This year’s outdoor art exhibit is Treasured Trash (April 23 - October 16). Placed throughout the gardens and grounds, this exhibition brings together five artists from the Northeast region of the United States who all create work from recycled and repurposed materials. Made from salvaged fishing gear, cardboard, plastic bags and bottles, beach trash and
more, these large-scale outdoor sculptures and installations shine a light on the challenges
of waste management and pollution—two major issues facing our coastal communities.
